The artwork, titled “Dutch Couple,” was crafted by Jeff Koons in 2007 in the United States. It is a mixed media piece employing oil and digital techniques, and it belongs to the Neo-Pop Art movement. As a figurative work, the artwork amalgamates vibrant characters and imagery with a playful aesthetic.
“Dutch Couple” features an amalgamation of recognizable cartoonish, inflated characters situated against a dotted, multicolored background. Dominating the composition are multiple depictions of cartoonish monkey faces with exaggerated, cheerful expressions. Superimposed on this scene, intricate, delicate white linear drawings overlay the central elements, introducing a contrast between the bold, vibrant colors of the backdrop and the monochrome details. This complex interplay of different styles and techniques is characteristic of Koons’ provocative, reflective approach to modern pop culture and art.
